Abstract

Die Anmeldung betrifft eine Schaltungsanordnung mit einer oder einer Mehrzahl parallel geschalteter Teilschaltungsanordnungen (10) zur Speisung mindestens einer Wechselrichterschaltung (50). Eine Teilschaltungsanordnung besteht aus einer ungeregelten Spannungsquelle (12) mit zeitlich variierender Ausgangsgleichspannung, einer Spannungsverdoppelungsschaltung (20) und einer Spannungsregelschaltung (30/40) mit Regelungseinrichtung. Im Rahmen des zugehörigen Verfahrens verdoppelt die Spannungsverdoppelungsschaltung die Spannung der ungeregelten Spannungsquelle. Die Regelung der Strom- / Spannungskennlinie, das MPP- Tracking, der ungeregelten Spannungsquelle erfolgt durch die Regelungseinrichtung der Spannungsregelschaltung.

The application relates to a circuit arrangement with one or a plurality of parallel-connected subcircuit arrangements (10) for feeding at least one inverter circuit (50). A subcircuit arrangement consists of an unregulated voltage source (12) with a time-varying DC output voltage, a voltage doubler circuit (20) and a voltage regulator circuit (30/40) with a control device. In the context of the associated method, the voltage doubling circuit doubles the voltage of the unregulated voltage source. The control of the current / voltage characteristic, the MPP tracking, the unregulated voltage source is carried out by the control device of the voltage regulation circuit.
